GARBAGE-RE CEPTACLE,

Application filed August 17, 1916. Serial No.

To all whom t may concern? Be it known that I, FRANK M. CAWBY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Champaign, in the county of Champaign, State of Illinois, have invented'a new and useful Garbage-Receptacle; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled fin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a new and useful garbage receptacle, and an object of the invention is to provide a dominant or main garbage receptacle and an auxiliary receptacle, into which the garbage is first deposited, and is thendumped into the dominant receptacle. I p

The object in affording two receptacles,as aforesaid, is to retain the fumes or odor in the lower or dominant receptacle, particularly when emptying the garbage into the receptacle, thereby preventing the fumes or `odor `from backing up into the face of the one who is emptying the garbage.

Another object of the invention is Ato provide an odor or fume cut-od member between the two receptacles, which is normally closed when emptying` the garbage into the auxiliary receptacle, and is then opened and closed by manipulating a rod, after closing the lid or cover of the auxiliary receptacle, thereby dumping the garbage from the auxiliary receptacle into the dominant receptacle.

In practical fields the details of construction may necessitate alterations falling within the scope of what is claimed.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, and claimed.

In the drawings:

Figure l-is a view in side elevation of the improved garbage receptacle constructed in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the same.

Fig. 3 is a plan view.

Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line 4.-4 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view on line 5--5 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view on line 6 6 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 7 is a plan view of a stand or support for the dominant receptacle.

Fig. 8 is a detailed sectional view through a slide covered Ventilating opening. n Referring more especially to the drawings, 1 designates a suitable base, to which, by means of screws 2, the legs 3 of a stand or support d are secured. This stand or support 1 consists of an annular ring 5, i

riblO of the receptacle 8 acting to support the body 9. The body cally fits the receptacle diametrically 9 where it telescopi- 8 is provided with oppositely disposed slotsl 9 and pins 8, for detachably connecting the body to the receptacle 8. To connect the body to the dominant receptacle, a partial turn may be imparted to the body, that is, after the body has been telescopically fitted to the receptacle, thereby causing the slots and pins of said. connections to cooperate, to detachably connect the body to the receptacle. The body 9 divided by means of a partition wall 11, disposed vertically, and a horizontal wall 12, to provide an idle compartment 18, and an open ended receptacle 141. Mounted in bearings 15 and 16 of the body 9 is a vertical rocking `rod 17, having a handle 18 at its upper end, and a `semi-circular disk 19 at its lower end, designed to close and act as a bottom to receptacle 14E, that is when the rod 17 is rocked to close the disk 19. It is to be noted that the disk 19 and the collar 20 (which is secured to the rod by the pin 21,) prevent vertical movement of the rod 17. I\/I n'eo\'er7 it will be observed that the semi-circular edge of the disk 19 engages the groove 22 in the wall of the hollow body 9, thereby guiding A the disk in its movement, when closing or opening the receptacle 14. Hinged at 23 to the top portion of the body 9 is a semicircular lid or cover 24 the flange of which iits down over a semi-circular portion of the body 9 and closes the receptacle 14C. The wall of the body 9 is provided with a p plurality of apertures or perforations 25, Wconstituting means to insure ventilation.

Above the perforations or openings 25 is a larger opening QG, which may be covered or uncovered by means of a slide 27, which is mounted in the guides 9S upon opposite sides of the opening 2G, there being an abutv*the slide E27 is opened.

ment plate or shoulder 29 to limit the slide in its downward movement. Projecting inwardly from the wall of the body 9 is an auxiliary angular wall 30 forming a ventilating pocket 3l, which is intended to hold some suitable disinfectant. This pocket 31 is adjacent the opening 26, there being perforations or apertures 32 in the bottom wall of the pocket, thereby allowing the fumes or odor to enter the pocket and pass through the disinfectant and exit or pass out through the opening 26, that is, when In using the garbage receptacle, the disk slide 19 is normally closed. Therefore, when depositing the garbage, the cover or lid 2i is thrown open, thereby permitting the garbage to be emptied into the receptacle lil. The cover or lid 24E is then closed, after which a rocking movement is imparted to the rod 17, thereby opening the disk or slide 19, dumping the garbage from the receptacle 14 into the dominant receptacle S. Subsequently, the senitcircular disk 19 is closed, thereby retaining the fumesor odor in the receptacle 8, that is, when emptying garbage into receptacle lll.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is:

l. ln a garbage receptacle, the combination of a flanged support having alternate bai-sand elongated openings and a garbage can supported thereon and said can consisting of a dominant receptacle and an auxiliary hollow body telescoping the upper end yof the dominant receptacle, of means for detachably connecting the body to said receptacle, said body having a vertical and horizontal wall dividing the same into an idle compartment and an open ended auX- iliary receptacle, a cover for the upper open Copies of this patent may be obtained for end ofthe auxiliary receptacle, said body adjacent the bottom of the idle compartment and the lower open end of the auX- iliary receptacle having an annular groove, a semi-circular partition slidable in said groove, in order to slide adjacent the under surface of the bottom of the idle compartment, to insure scraping the refuse from the upper face of the sliding partition, and a rocking rod mounted inv bearings of the body and connected to the sliding partition for closing and opening'thesame, whereby the garbage may be dumped from the auX- iliary receptacle into the dominant receptacle. Y j

Q VA garbage can, comprising a casing, the upper part of the can having a-vertical wall dividing the upper part into a semicircular idle compartment and a similar shaped garbage receptacle, said partition having an integral wall forming the bottom of the idle compartment, the Vouter wall of the can having an annular groove immediately adjacent the bottom ofthe idle compartment and the lower-end of the auxiliary receptacle, 'a'seml-circular closure mounted and slidable in said groove, whereby as the closure `moves under thebottom ofthe idle compartment, the garbage mayl bescrapedY from-the upper face of said closure,and a rod mounted in bearings of the can and con' nec'ted to the closure for moving. the same to dump the garbage from" the vauxiliary receptacle in to the bottom of said can.

In testimony whereof I have signed' my Y name to this specification in the presenceof two subscribing witnesses. l v v v Y- FRANK M.CAVVBYX lVitnesses: i A Y E. R. CUNNINGHAM, EDWARD STYLES.
